2013 BMW 116 1.6L Diesel · YD63 AAU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-28 at 148,038 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting stable roadworthiness. However, a failed test on the same date at 148,036 miles—despite identical mileage—raises ambiguity. No defects were noted in either case, indicating potential administrative error or negligible issues. Subsequent tests from 2024 to 2025 show consistent passing with no recorded faults, reinforcing a stable maintenance pattern. The vehicle’s mileage of 148,038 miles over 13 years aligns with average annual usage of ~11,388 miles. A 9,038-mile increase between 2024-01-09 (132,169 miles) and 2025-01-06 (141,207 miles) reflects steady usage, while the 7,031-mile rise to 148,038 by 2026-01-28 shows no abrupt acceleration. The absence of significant gaps or anomalies in the MOT history suggests regular servicing, though the duplicate failed pass entry requires clarification. A buyer should prioritize inspecting suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, given the car’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including disc wear and caliper binding, should also be checked, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. While no structural corrosion or emission issues were flagged, a pre-purchase inspection is advisable to verify the integrity of high-mileage drivetrain elements and confirm the absence of undetected faults.
